I Wasn't Worth It

Like the lion that stalked its prey
through the tall, long grass
you fixed your eyes on me, and
sized up your prey.

And with a cold, calculating stare
you decided i wasn't worth it,
worth life
worth my soul
worth my dignity.

You decided, there and then
to take it all
strip my soul bare
of all it knew
and all it was.

Then with a snarl
reminiscent of your ancestors,
you affixed on my pulse of life
and took it.

Forever.

It's better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life.

Nice writing...you determine your worth...not another that chooses to value you or not...James
